Setting up a site in Vyre Unify

From VYRE

To set up a site, first click on publishing at the bottom of the LH navigation screen. This section of Unify is used to make and maintain the pages of your website. Then click on "Sites" in the left hand top navigation bar, and you will be presented with the screen listing all the sites residing on the instance you are developing on.

Please note that if there are no sites on the instance you are working on, then no sites will appear on the right side as they do in the above screen. Also the navigation on the left side can be configured to either list all the websites under "Sites" when expanded or to have a dropdown menu with all the sites and letting user to select the site that will appear under "Sites" (As it can be seen in Figure 1 above that there is a dropdown above "Publishing" and "Unify Tutorial" is selected, which only is appearing under "Sites" section).

1. Title - enter the title of your site (e.g. Tutorial site), note that Unify takes advantage of dynamic variables in page titles, so you can dynamically assign the title of the site to the title of a page [please click here to see the full list of all variable available.
2. Description - enter a simple description of your site (e.g. An introduction to using VYRE Unify). Again this field is available as a dynamic variable that can be used when creating pages
3. Locale - select the primary locale for your site.
4. Time Zone - select the primary time zone for your site.
5. Allow users to store login cookies for this site - when this box is checked this will allow users to store a login cookie that will remember the user the next time they log in.
6. Maximum cookie age in days (only appears when "Allow users to store login cookies for the site" is checked) - this sets the length of time the cookie is stored for.
7. Session timeout - Set the session length required for the deployed site.
8. NTLM HTTP Authentication - check this box if you require Microsoft's NTLM HTTP Authentication. NTLM employs a challenge-response mechanism for authentication, in which clients are able to prove their identities without sending a password to the server. It consists of three messages, commonly referred to as Type 1 (negotiation), Type 2 (challenge) and Type 3 (authentication). It works as follows:
   1. The client sends a Type 1 message to the server. This primarily contains a list of features supported by the client and requested of the server.
   2. The server responds with a Type 2 message. This contains a list of features supported and agreed upon by the server. Most importantly, however, it contains a challenge generated by the server.
   3. The client replies to the challenge with a Type 3 message. This contains several pieces of information about the client, including the domain and username of the client user. It also contains one or more responses to the Type 2 challenge.

The responses in the Type 3 message are the most critical piece, as they prove to the server that the client user has knowledge of the account password. Click here to read more on NTLM HTTP Authentication.
